The most important day in
My life you fail to come through
You decided to let me fall.
The time I needed you most
You hit ignore and didn’t
Answer my call
.I sat there in that corner,
And cried tears of pain.
As all the trouble and hurt
I held on to started to
Drive me insane.
  
And I waited as long as I could
To hear someone say
"Hold on, wait I'll be there"
But no one showed and
It hurt more to see no one care.
You were so *******
In your selfish acts
Or too tired you proclaimed
To leave your bed
  
And I was all alone
As thoughts raced
Through my head
And before me laid
Many options: pills, rope,
A gun, a knife.
Trying to find the quickest
Way to end this pain
I called life
  
So now it’s over
It’s done, and
Everyone asks why?
But she seemed so happy
I never seen her cry
But I did, you just
Never took the time to see
Time to realize the obvious
You over looked in me
  
So if anyone out there
Can hear me
Will you truly listen
Will you remember
Take the time so this
Doesn't happen again?
Will you remember to at
Least call or text or stop
By or just drop in
Take a moment to check
On your family and friends
Don’t just say you're thankful
For people in your life
But can’t recall the
Last time you came in contact
A life is something easily taken
That you can’t give back.
